<p><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">The China Tribunal on Tuesday told the UN Human Rights Council that China regularly harvests organs from religious minorities and prisoners of conscience.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">This shocking practice has been going on “for years through China on a significant scale,” said Tribunal lawyer Hamid Sabi. Those targeted are “primarily people who practice Falun Gong but also Tibetans, Uighurs, and House Christians.”</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Sabi described forced organ harvesting as “one of the worst mass atrocities of this century” and told the UN that its members have a “legal obligation” to act. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">After hearing evidence from medical experts, human rights investigators, and witnesses, the Tribunal concluded that China has been removing organs from the Falun Gong group for at least 20 years. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Victims were “killed to order…cut open while still alive for their kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, cornea, and skin to be removed and turned into commodities for sale,” said the Tribunal. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">“Organ transplantation to save life is a scientific and social triumph, but killing the donor is criminal,&#8221; added Sabi. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Last year, the UN said it had evidence China was holding up to 2 million Uighur Muslims in secret camps.</span></p>
<p>China has described the camps as &#8216;re-education facilities&#8217; necessary to eradicate religious extremism. <span class="s1">Detainees say they were tortured, brainwashed with Communist doctrine, and asked to abandon their faith. </span></p>
<p><strong>The Tribunal claims the camps are also used as organ banks. </strong><span class="s1">The detainment of minority groups for this purpose is a “possible charge of genocide,” said Sabi, comparing China&#8217;s behavior to the Holocaust. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><em><span class="s1">The China Tribunal is an independent organization backed by the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China.</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> The <em><strong>absolute horror</strong> </em>of this is such that I thought would never be seen in the world again. We are actually talking about harvesting human parts <em><strong>from live human beings</strong></em>. This is not some evil secret organization working out of the public eye.</p>
<p>This is the Chinese government.</p>
<p>We are talking about a country that encompasses almost 20% of the world population having no concept of human rights, human dignity, individual liberty, nor the preciousness of human life.</p>
<p>Without an inkling of conscience.</p>
<p>And there is nothing we can do.</p>
